The components can be easily transported and moved, and they fit together quickly and simply on site with the least amount of handling.

Professor John Dyson spent more than 25 years at GlaxoSmithKline, eventually ending his career as VP, Head of Capital Strategy and Design, where he focussed on developing a long-term strategic approach to asset management..While there, he engaged Bryden Wood and together they developed the Front End Factory, a collaborative endeavour to explore how to turn purpose and strategy into the right projects – which paved the way for Design to Value.

He is committed to the betterment of lives through individual and collective endeavours.. As well as his business and pharmaceutical experience, Dyson is Professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham, focussing on project management, business strategy and collaboration.. Additionally, he is a qualified counsellor with a private practice and looks to bring the understanding of human behaviour into business and projects.. To learn more about our Design to Value philosophy, read Design to Value: The architecture of holistic design and creative technology by Professor John Dyson, Mark Bryden, Jaimie Johnston MBE and Martin Wood.Available to purchase at.In my last blog, I explored how innovative, value-driven conceptual design can be shepherded through basic / scheme design.I believe that submitting a project to a sausage-machine-design approach at any point will allow much of the value to be lost or worse.

The question is how you can move into detailed design, construction and beyond while firmly keeping hold of that conceptual value..Integrated Project Delivery (IPD).

Integrated Project Delivery is not a new idea and there are many flavours of it available in the world of infrastructure, some with more demonstrated success than others.

There is a lot of evidence that well-implemented IPD has significant benefits in project management terms i.e.for 24/7 lab operations), shared lab functions (e.g.

washrooms or stores), and IP sensitivities – with the size and type of life science business or tenant a driving factor in how these are managed.In all cases, a lab design should be developed as soon as possible, with material and personnel flows and relevant zonings mapped out across all lab and common areas to identify any potential issues.. 8.

Existing office buildings may struggle to accommodate more onerous laboratory fire and egress requirements.. A lab will most likely contain more flammable or hazardous materials and sources of ignition than an office.In most cases this can be addressed with special storage cabinets, fume cabinets, and good housekeeping.
